Descriptiontext

Presidential Heating & Air Conditioning, Inc. is a private residential and commercial HVAC contractor founded in 1982 and headquartered at 8000 Cessna Ave, Gaithersburg, MD, operating as a subsidiary of Southern Home Services. The company installs, services, and repairs heating systems (gas, oil, and electric furnaces, heat pumps, and geothermal), air conditioning (central air, ductless mini-splits, emergency repair), and indoor air quality solutions including iWave air purifiers, Aprilaire dehumidifiers and humidifiers, UV lights, fresh air ventilators, and duct cleaning, plus smart/Wi-Fi thermostat installation. It serves homeowners across Montgomery County, Maryland and surrounding jurisdictions — Bethesda, Potomac, Rockville, Germantown, Gaithersburg, Frederick, Howard County, Montgomery Village, North Bethesda, and Washington DC — with a smaller commercial HVAC book in the same geography.

The company monetizes through project-based HVAC installation (one-time, equipment- and scope-priced), time-and-materials repair and 24/7 emergency service (provided at no surcharge for evenings or weekends), the Home Comfort Club recurring maintenance membership, IAQ hardware attach sales, and commercial HVAC service contracts. Customer acquisition is sales-led via phone, online booking, free estimates, coupons, a Refer-a-Friend program, content marketing through a long-running blog, email newsletter, social media, and presence on third-party platforms including Angi (formerly Angie's List) and Nextdoor. The firm operates with 11–50 employees, is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer and three-time Carrier President's Award recipient (through 2018), and holds NATE technician and ACCA contractor credentials; Chris Nixon is identified as a key leadership figure.
